Dirt ties in the essential elements of life such as food, water and natural elements. The organic compounds, which make up the soil, support all living organism and any life form could not sustain without it. Three services it provides are food, water and natures elements; simply, without these we would not be able to survive. Dirt is the very base of life on Earth because it has most of the important nutrients in which plants need to grow; those plants in turn feed animals and humans. Dirt is also where much of our fresh water is stored. Fresh water travels through the soil being filtered as it goes. It often ends up in underwater rivers called aquifers where we can get it when we need it. Thanks to dirt, we have clean, fresh water to drink and food to eat. Many industries and activities are having an adverse impact on dirt for example agriculture and runoff. The current type of agriculture uses monocultures. A monoculture is when a large amount of one crop planted in a field. This has detrimental effects on the soil because this crop takes in the nutrient out of the soil, leaving it deficient and unable to sustain other crops. The monocultures also attract many pests. Since there are no other plants that would attract other pests, which in turn would make these pests compete and therefore regulate the amount of insects, farmers uses a large amount of pesticides and insecticides. Farmers overuse these toxic substances and because the soil is deprived, it is not able to take in the extra pesticides. Therefore, the pesticides run off into nearby streams, which cause eutrophication, creating a anoxic environment. Due to these problems, small farmers are unable to support their crops, which cause them to lose their jobs to industrial farms. Recently the U.S. agricultural industry consistently experienced record profits, but this agricultural boom did not create more opportunities for the average farmer or rural worker. The percentage of the rural workforce employed...

...This extract from Tim Winton’s Dirt Music is set after Luther Fox has run away up north to Coronation Gulf. He has been isolated for some time but has not yet begun to sort out his emotions or learnt how to deal with the loss of his family. During the extract, the reader sees Lu’s frustration at having forgotten to bring something to read with him to his exile, and then his new playful relationship with sharks that he happens across.
The atmosphere in this extract changes with the structure. It starts out frustrated and regretful, while Lu berates himself for having not brought a single book with him to Coronation Gulf. This atmosphere is achieved through the use of diction and sentence structure. The first two sentences are short and simple, and give the first part of the extract a frustrated, slightly angry feeling. I believe Winton has done this purposefully to allow the reader to better understand Lu and what he is feeling. The use of diction also contributes heavily to the atmosphere, especially with words such as “wistfully” chosen deliberately to add to the ambiance in the first section of this extract. The second section is purely factual and emotionless at first glance. Lu is simply giving a blow-by-blow account of his first sight of the sharks, and it appears at first to be only descriptive. However the choice of words when describing the sharks subtly paints them as graceful and elegant creatures, and gives the paragraph a natural, almost calm...

What is an information system?
An information system can be defined technically as a set of interrelated components that collect, process, store, and distribute information to support decision making and control in an organization.

“In 2005, more than 40 million businesses registered their company in internet sites. More than 35million people receive their news online. E-commerce and internet advertising are booming: Google’s online ads revenues had achieved $6 million in 2005, and internet advertising continues to grow at more than 30 percent a year, reaching more than $11 billion in revenues in 2005. The results has led many experts to believe the era of massive recessions and booms of the typical business cycle is over, replaced by much smaller...

Dirt Bikes Intranet Tools

Dirt Bikes Networking
Dirt Bikes management can use several tools to maximize their efficiency, productivity, and lower their costs. These tools can prove to be a great asset to Dirt Bikes with the correct policies in place for their use.
Technology
Dirt Bikes currently provides network access to any employee with a computer. These employees can only access the network in this way. It also limits what is accessible and who can access it. An intranet is the best way to connect the network of different departments. It is only accessible by employees and allows each employee access to the information they need from other departments (Laudon & Laudon, 2013). This is effective and useful for all departments in the company.
Sales and Marketing can benefit from an Intranet by having quick access to everything they need, including sales reports and past records. The past records can provide helpful information for predicting future sales. Also, sales reports and product information help the employees recognize areas that need more work and what areas are successful. Being able to access all of this information with a simple keystroke or a click would save time and money because it would boost productivity.
Human resources can access complaints by employees and address concerns quickly and...

Dirt Bikes Proposal
I would recommend the company start with an information system. This will help track all the important information for the company. It will also be a faster way for the employees to communicate with each other and the customers. It will increase profits and keep track of them at the same time. The company will be able to track everything from where the money is going and what needs to be cut down. It will help with un nessacary expenses.
Internet tools and technology could be used to help Dirt Bike employees communicate faster and more efficient. This would have save the company money and it will also increase profits. The first tool that I would recommend would be an intranet. Intranet is a private internet for companies. It has websites like Salesforce.com that can help salesmen or women know their areas. They will also know who sold what and how much. The can see what they company’s total sales are.
For manufacturing, if a repair comes in the mechanic will be able to go to the computer and pull up the customer’s problem. If it goes through a couple employees’ hands, they will be able to know who did what and what the outcome was. They will be able to keep track of all the repairs in case it fails a quality control check.
There is also the use of e-mail. There are many applications that can help with the privacy of a company. They also can...

An intranet system will be discussed. Two other Internet tools will be introduced to the organization that would be beneficial if utilized correctly. The benefits of wireless technology will be discussed and the impact it would have on the Dirt Bikes organization and how it benefits the company. A comparison of costs between wireless and wired networks is also included for management’s review. It reveals the benefits of a wireless network. It will also show that installing a wireless network is much cheaper than the installation of a wired network. I will compare the two for best way that the company can save money, as well, as it would profit the company....

Garbage and Mahatma Gandhi (Yadav Y)
They only want to demonstrate that the function of removing garbage and filth is a necessary and sacred function and its performance can impart grace even to a Vaishnava. Those who pursue this vocation are not, therefore, degraded but entitled to an equal measure of social privileges with those pursuing other callings; their work protects the country from a number of diseases. They, therefore, deserve the same respect as doctors. 1 Let us examine the state of our villages from this standpoint. Many of these are found to be like heaps of garbage. People urinate and defecate at all places in the villages, not excluding even their own courtyards. Where this is done, no one takes care to cover up the faeces. The village roads are never well maintained and one finds heaps of dust everywhere. We ourselves and our bullocks find it difficult even to walk on them. If there is a pond, people wash their utensils in it, cattle drink, bathe and wallow in it; children and even adults clean themselves in it after evacuation; they even defecate on the ground near it. This same water is used for drinking and cooking purposes. 2
Hence the volunteer should explain this matter to cultivators and, if permitted to do so, should bury it in their fields. If any farmer, through ignorance, disregards the sanitary methods suggested by the volunteer, the latter should find a spot in the dunghill and bury the excreta there. Having...

...STUDY QUESTIONS FOR TEST #2
The following questions will help you study for the exam by getting you to pull together lectures, discussions, videos, and readings.
You do not need to memorize obscure facts or statistics but you must have a mastery of the lecture material and be able to apply it to readings and videos to excel on the exam. This review sheet will help you understand what I think are the most important things to know.
The exam will consist of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short-essay questions. Some of the multiple choice questions will be clearly marked with "circle ALL correct answers"--meaning that each possible answer (a, b, c, d) should be assessed independently. In other words, ask yourself "is A correct?" If so, circle it. Then move onto B. If B is correct, circle it, etc. Also note that NONE of the answers might be correct. Regarding the fill-in-the-blanks, I will ask you to provide the correct term to match a definition. Short essays will be largely pulled directly from this review sheet.

...﻿Dirt bikes management is concerned that the money that is being spent on communications both inside the company and outside is being used efficiently. Dirt bikes would like to find more efficient alternatives that would improve their various methods to gather information about their related fields.

I will include an insight on two other internet tools that could be beneficial for an organization if used correctly. The benefits of wireless technology will also be discussed which will included the impact it would have on the Dirt Bikes organization.
Having internet is very useful in many different ways and it provides private networks that are firewalled for an organization to use. This protection allows companies to share information within their organization without their competitors looking to see what the company is communication about. Having internet will allow a more constant flow of information within the company, which increases the revenue and success rate of the company. All the departments within the company that is integrated with internet will be able to get information in and send information out to the next department faster and more proficient.
